CBS' Tracker Ranks Among the Year's Biggest Shows

Nielsen's 35-day multi-platform viewing metrics, which run through April 12, 2026, show Netflix dominating the list but include several broadcast hits. Stranger Things sits atop the chart with 32.9 million viewers, followed by His & Hers at 25.6 million; CBS/Paramount+ series Marshals is third with 20.7 million and Tracker appears at seventh with 16.4 million.

Nielsen is widely regarded as the industry standard for TV ratings, giving weight to these figures. Tracker, which airs on CBS and streams on Paramount+, stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a survivalist who travels the country helping law enforcement and private citizens find missing persons in exchange for reward money.

The series is frequently likened to Reacher for its lone-wolf action hero premise and steady, episodic structure. Reacher does not appear on this chart, a likely consequence of having no new episodes since 2025; its fourth season is expected later this year.
